Moral equivalents of greed

Ordered Greed

Adam Smith and Greed

Greed, Fear, and Rushes∗

We develop a continuum player unified timing game that also rationalizes sudden mass movements. Payoffs in the game are a logsubmodular function of time and the stopping quantile. Time captures the payoff-relevant fundamental — payoffs “ripen”, peak at a “harvest time”, and then “rot”. Capturing the strategic interaction, payoffs are single-peaked in the quantile. We distinguish between greed a...

Greed and Majorization

We present a straightforward linear algebraic model of greed, based only on extensions of classical majorization and convexity theory. This gives an alternative to other models of greedy-solvable problems such as matroids, greedoids, submodular functions, etc., and it is able to express established examples of greedy-solvable optimization problems that they cannot. The linear algebraic approach...
